Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. However, topography is rarely included as a factor in research investigating vegetation dynamics
From a managerial perspective, organizational effectiveness, whether internal or external, is of extreme importance. Therefore, management studies should investigate which phenomena need to be emphasized and safeguarded to utilize organizational effectiveness. Intra-organizational trust and job satisfaction are both defined as phenomena that are of influence on organizational effectiveness. This s
I takt med ökad efterfrågan av digitala tjänster har IT-sektorn växt fram som en ny energiintensiv industri. Ett område där digitaliseringen fått fotfäste är inom finansiell teknologi, där digitala valutor och betalningsnätverk erbjuder stora möjligheter. Precis som internet har möjliggjort för datorer över hela världen att kommunicera på en gemensam plattform, vill det amerikanska företaget StellThe colossal electricity consumption of proof-of-work cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum has caused critical examination of how consensus in blockchain-solutions is designed. Stellar is a decentralized, open-membership payment network built on blockchain technology, with the goal of enabling money to flow between banks, businesses and people across the global financial infrastructure, w
Robust optimization plays a vital role in proton therapy treatment planning. A monoenergetic beam of protons has a finite range and delivers most of its dose at some specific depth in the patient. This allows the design of treatments that mainly damage the tumor and not any surrounding tissue. However, this property also makes proton therapy sensitive to uncertainties in the patient model used for

Industry 4.0 can be described as the next generation-factories that is characterised by putting a high demand for automation and flexible production lines. The proposed way to achieve this goal is through a large number of Industrial IoT devices(IIoT) in the factory, some having high availability- and low-latency requirements. This demands for a software that can monitor and manage the application
Using data spanning from 1910 to 2020, house price dynamics of Stockholm and Gothenburg are found to be significantly affected by income, household debt, interest rates, construction costs and immigration. Real house prices in Stockholm and Gothenburg exhibit debt elasticities of 1.34 and 1.12, noticeably greater than their respective income elasticities of 0.24 and 0.39. Real house prices in both
The goal of the thesis is to simulate the Ericsson Many-Core Architecture, EMCA, and implement a dynamic scheduler for the system using reinforcement learning methods. The system contains shared resources that receive and complete jobs. Also, the deadlines and latency definitions can change depending on the job type. The scheduler should aim to avoid missing deadlines as well as aim to reduce the
Jag har alltid älskat att vandra i naturen och under de senaste åren, inte minst under år 2020, har jag lagt märke till att fler och fler börjat tillbringa tid ute i skog och mark. Det senaste årets reserestriktioner och uppmaningar till att hålla fysisk distans har bidragit till att människor ersatt sina utlandssemestrar med upplevelser här hemma i Sverige och vandringstrenden har ökat något enor
In today’s world of uncertainties, video surveillance is widely used to make the people of our society feel safe and protected. As more cameras are installed, the time of installation and ease of use play a critical role when customers decide which camera solution to select. One way to limit the number of cameras needed to cover multiple directions and large areas is to install a multidirectional
Our decisions from the past affect the present time. The same is true of the decisions we make today. How do we want to see our local environment in the future? In the western part of Iceland there is an island called Brákarey. Brákarey is connected via bridge to the town of Borgarnes. Brákarey has played a variety of roles over the past years, but transport of people and goods was one of its bigg
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Sweden, accounting for approximately 30 % of the cancer cases. The overall prognosis is good, but worsens if the cancer metastasizes from the primary tumor. In order to exclude or confirm lymph node metastasis in clinically node negative breast cancer, axillary lymph nodes are examined by sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Up to 85 % of the pa
Studies investigating the footprint of nations have reported significant carbon-leakage between countries and the need to track emissions responsibility under a consumption-based accounting to complement traditional production estimates. Nonetheless, these works have largely ignored the impact of consumption by sectors in generating greenhouse gas emissions, which remained estimated under a produc
Narcotics have been the subject of hard legal regulation and zero tolerance policies in Sweden for more than three decades. This bachelor thesis seeks to examine the ideological grounds which the swedish druglaws are founded upon and maintained through. In order to identifiy these ideologies and understand their impact on the legaslative process a critical discourse analysis have been conducted wi
Syftet med den här digitala explicita enkätstudien är att undersöka vuxna svenskars attityder till transpersoner, eller deras nivå av transfobi. Teorierna som använts för att diskutera resultatet är social dominansteori (SDT), den heterosexuella matrisen och hegemonisk maskulinitet. Dessa teorier kan förklara den maskulina hierarkin som trumfar över femininitet, och som på grund av avvikande könsiThe aim of this digital explicit survey study is to examine adult Swedes’ attitudes towards transgender people, or their level of transphobia. The theories used to discuss the results of this study is social dominance theory (SDT), the heterosexual matrix and hegemonic masculinity. These theories could explain the masculine hierarchy that trump femininity, and due to gender nonconformity threatens
PFAS är en grupp kemikalier med olika toxiska egenskaper och som har spridat sig idag överallt i naturen. Gruppen är vanligt förekommande inom olika konsumentprodukter som slutligen hamnar på deponier i form av avfall och kan där ifrån släppas ut via lakvatten. För att förhindra utsläpp och minska spridningsrisken av PFAS från deponier så är det viktigt att undersöka och anlägga fungerande sanerinPFAS is a group of long-lasting chemicals with multiple known toxicological effects which has been found everywhere in nature. One of the possible source points of PFAS is via landfill through leachate leaving the area. It is therefore important to investigate and implementing remediation techniques to reduce the contamination risk. This thesis focuses on two components, first a literature study w
In times where commerce has shifted into e-commerce, the influence of price comparison websites has become unmistakable. In contrast to previous literature, studying the contemporary effects on demand for retailers in decreasing rankings, we have studied the event from a strategic perspective of pricing. With a unique dataset of more than 20 million observations from the Swedish price comparison s
Individuals with a growth mindset tend to accomplish more by putting increased effort into learning and development, compared to individuals with a fixed mindset. As uncertainty increases, organizations that promote continuous learning adapt faster than competitors. If an entire organization adopts a growth mindset, employees will be more motivated to learn. Growth mindset has, therefore, received
